Clockwork Lyrics

Cover art for Clockwork lyrics by Augie March

You're not far wrong. There's a great acoustic version as a b-side on the One Crowded Hour single. (Incidentally it doesn't include that killer closing couplet about the "accidental purpose).

I'd be interested if anyone could explain the lyrics:

"The Pneuma, Cecilian, the Metzler, Angelus, Virtuos, Apollo, Paragon, Minerva, Stella"

Are these all classical Greek/Roman mythological entities? What's the connection?
